I'm sad to report that puppy mills are still alive and well in Manitoba. This email came out from one of our customers Hip Pooch.
From D'Arcy's Animal Rescue Centre:
Foster homes needed for canines.
Foster parents are urgently needed for a two to ten week period starting December 12th to foster animals from yet another puppy mill which is in the process of being shut down.
Over 50 Labradoodles, puppies, adults and three pregnant dogs have been seized. The ARC needs committed foster homes over the Christmas period to foster dogs until they can move into the shelter as space comes available.
Please contact D’Arcy or Brenda at 204 888 2266 if you are up for a challenge.
Thank you,
-staff & volunteers.
There was also an article in the Winnipeg Free Press today here , although I'm not sure why reporters insist on calling puppy mill owners "Breeders". Sure they produce a lot of puppies through the breeding process BUT they are not breeders. This just causes confusion with responsible real CERTIFIED BREEDERS who care for their animals and make sure the dogs go to good homes.
Now keep in mind that although these animals need help, dogs shouldn't be treated as presents if this hasn't been discussed THOROUGHLY with the intended recipient. Saves a trip back to the shelter after Christmas.
But if you've been looking to get a dog, now is a great time to do your research on the 'doodle. I've met a lot of 'doodles at the dog park. They are fun, fully of energy, and playful kids and they can grow to be quite tall. Like this one...
They remind me of Fraggles from Fraggle Rock.
And speaking of rescues, I'm swinging by It's Raining Cats and Dogs today so I will get a Sadie update.
Hi - My friend Libby just adopted one of the Labradoodle rescues.
Curious about the horrible story I did some online research and in clicking about, stumbled on this ad on Kijiji which literally screams puppy mill:

What do you think? Seems like a pretty flimsy cover story. Am tempted to follow up and meet the person to assess the situation. Anyone have any advice about what I'd need to look for and what I'd need to find out to get an investigation going?
Thanks!

This is a great sharing, thanks Bonnie. It's obvious that the people who breeds the dogs generally called as the breeders. But this is not right. I agree with you. Hope for some more good stuff bonnie.

The special simplicity is the first impression of this design. The boldness and precursory lifestyle stick out the impressive feelings and present the fresh views on the warmhearted living space. Very great stuff!

I'm really surprised, this article is very good, I took more than 2 years of reading articles on topics related and have never had the pleasure of reading something so complete, I am fascinated, I can do that if you send me information to keep up with new contributions.

I'm planning to adopt a pup. What are the basic requirements for that? I love dogs and i want to give them the care and love that they needed.

Ces gars-là sont technologiquement désemparés. Chaque fois qu'ils vont là-bas ordinateurs tombent en panne, ils ne trouvent jamais rien, et que ces véhicules sont une plaisanterie. C'est une bonne chose qu'ils ont un bon graphiste pour la publicité que sinon personne ne pourrait jamais voir ce spectacle.

Foster homes for canines is a great idea, but in reality doesn't quite always work out.

Does anyone know anything about Miracle Ranch and their puppies? I was going to purchase a puppy but I Don't see any certification for breeding. They sell Labradoodle puppies F1b. What are these puppies worth...should they come with papers?
